Cuttlefish

Whole cuttlefish, straight out of the sea (complete with famous budgerigar bill-sharpener - ’the mantle’). Whereas the octopus is all tentacles and not much body, the cuttlefish is tentacle-poor and body-rich - yielding a superb piece of thick, brilliant white meat. Plus untold quantities of ink. What an adventure! To cook: sear for about eight minutes or poach for about 20.
